Inaccurate Wikipedia material needs to be removed

Is it possible that someone in a position of 'authority' within the Irish province of the Dominican Order would remove or edit the Wikipedia entry for Newbridge College as the material is inaccurate and offensive.

The material has been in place for a considerable period of time and in spite of continued attempts to have the text edited or removed nothing has been done.

Anyone can edit Wikipedia. Just open an account with them and blaze away.

Then if your edits survive the sweeping Wiki editors the job is OXO.

Surely not the job of an enlisted member. Let them at it.

Anyone can open a Wiki page or edit someone else's. That page has not necessarily been put up by the Order, more likely by a fan of one or both priests.

I don't know if there is any objection to either priest, but even if not the entry is clearly unbalanced.

If the page was edited to someone else's satisfaction and the edited page brought to the Order/College's attention, they might wake up to it.

There is no obligation on you to do it but if might be an idea seeing as you seem to have something in mind.

I just looked at the page. It is a little surprising, to say the least! It sounds like a sarcastic entry, to me.
